For four years, First Lady Sandra Granger has been quietly working with Guyana’s youth, especially those who are vulnerable. While there have been a few challenges, the positives far outweigh the negatives and for her the key is not to be entangled in politics.
Some might argue that this is impossible since her husband is the president of the country, but in a sit down with the Sunday Stabroek she revealed that she tries to be very careful that “I don’t get into any kind of political imbroglio.”
